Hiring isn’t just about filling a role—it’s about creating a process that aligns with what the organization, hiring managers, and candidates need to succeed. But too often, organizations struggle to strike that balance. ?? Organizations want culture-aligned, high-performing employees who stick around. ?? Hiring managers need a process that ensures they’re getting the right candidates—not just a stack of resumes or a bunch of interviews. ?? Candidates seek transparency, clear expectations, and a reason to say yes to your offer. So how do you create a hiring process that delivers on all fronts? It starts with a stakeholder-led approach. Let's dive into real-world strategies along with insights from Erin B. on how to make hiring work for everyone involved.
